Low Income Oversight Board

Welcome to the Low Income Oversight Board
websiteBy Senate Bill 2 from the Second Extraordinary
Session (SBX2 2), the Legislature established the LIOB
to advise the Commission on low-income electric and gas customer issues and to
serve as a liaison for the Commission to low-income ratepayers and
representatives. Moreover, SBX2 2 required specific activities, which would
enable the LIOB to advise the Commission. It also described the selection
process and types of members allowed to serve on the LIOB. Additionally, SBX2 2
listed the Commission's duties in conjunction with the LIOB.

On October 7, 2005, the Governor of the State
of California signed into law Senate
Bill 580. SB 580 expanded the LIOB's duties by including low-income
water customer issues of which the LIOB can advise the Commission.

On June 7, 2007 the Commission adopted Resolution E-4095 revising the Low Income Oversight Board Charter,
which describes the governing structure for the LIOB, consistent with Section (§) 382.1 of the California Public Utilities Code.
